My thoughts and ideas for cardmaking and an occasional altered project!

Crafty Secrets & Tattered Angels!

This is the final week of our March Mix of Crafty Secrets and Tattered Angels! It has been so fun combining these two great companies! I decided to use Crafty Secret's newest product called "Creative Scraps." They are gorgeous images that are geared towards cardmakers! I chose this sunflower image because those large beautiful flowers just make me smile. I sprayed it with Pearl Glimmer Mist and then used Crystal effects for the centers.

The faux wooden panel behind it was done with SU! Creamy Caramel cardstock, swiped with white ink, then swiped again with brown ink. I distressed the edges a bit. I added some vintage book paper behind that, some twine, a button, and a silk leaf.

From this angle you can really see the sparkle the Glimmer Mist gives the card! See the Crystal Effects?
